About Shivam Bawa

I am a filmmaker, writer, and creative professional working across fiction, advertising, and narrative driven content.Over the years, I have built hands on experience as a First Assistant Director and Associate Director, working closely with directors, producers, actors, and technical teams to translate scripts into execution ready films. My time on set has shaped my understanding of performance, pacing, discipline, and leadership under real production pressure.Alongside direction, I have worked as a Creative Director, coordinating with writers to develop micro drama scripts and short format narratives. In these roles, I have led creative teams from concept to execution, aligning story, tone, and audience intent while managing the overall creative process.As a Post Creative I have supervised visual effects creatively on projects such as Taj - The Royal Blood, State of Siege - Temple Attack, adding to the other aspects of the post production I lead the entire post single handedly.I have also directed advertising projects, approaching each brand by first understanding its language, values, and the message it needs to communicate to the audience. My focus in advertising remains clarity, emotion, and honest storytelling rather than spectacle.My work has included collaborations with international directors and teams, which has expanded my understanding of global working styles, narrative sensibilities, and cinematic discipline.As a writer, my approach is rooted in restraint, realism, and emotional truth. I am drawn to stories that trust the audience, characters that feel lived in, and moments that resonate quietly rather than loudly.At my core, I am a film lover who respects both the craft and the process behind storytelling. Whether I am writing, directing, or leading creative teams, my focus remains constant: emotional integrity, narrative clarity, and disciplined execution.
